Chance to stop and reflect on my learning from yesterdays @physiosinsport conference - my first thread (I think!)
1. Looking ahead to volunteering as a physio at the #B2022 games and the opportunities to learn from a range of clinicians in a multi sport event, in a sport that provides the chance to work with para-athletes again is exciting and a small step towards the dream goal #Paralympics
2. And how hands-on Ax and MOI shouldn’t become a lost art in Sport. Develop/practice hands-on Ax skills, know your anatomy, think logically and treat what you see. Imaging is a lovely luxury to aid Ax and 🔺but shouldn’t take the place of what makes us autonomous practitioners

India, in #Paralympics 2020 has won 19 medals, including 5 gold medals. This is higher than cumulative tally of all medals ever won by India in the last 60 years. How did this happen?

A big part of the answer lies in the structured all-rounded approach followed by Govt. In 2014 itself, the Govt announced TOPS - Target Olympic Podium Scheme. Without mincing words, Govt announced its intent to send our athletes to podium.
So what is TOPS?

TOPS is as a programme which provides all neccessary aspect to drive successful performance amongst our athletes - foreign training, exposure to international competition, equipment and coaching, scientific staff etc. Also, it provides monthly stipend of Rs. 50,000/-.

#5settembre #afghanistan cominciamo con una foto che circola da ieri. Vi avevamo raccontato che era arrivato a Kabul il capo dell'ISI in visita ufficiale. Anomalia nell'anomalia la foto che è stata fatta circolare, il generale che prende il caffè al Serena Hotel 1/15
Visto che le spie non lasciano mai nulla a caso, questi sono evidentemente segnali del Pakistan. Perchè/Cosa è troppo presto per capirlo. Ipotesi 1) sciogliere la matassa del nuovo governo a loro favore 2) Assicurarsi che talebani non dimentichino a chi devono tanto ora che 2/15
hanno molti altri "alleati" internazionali.
A proposito di nuovo governo, doveva essere annunciato venerdì poi sabato ora la settimana prossima. Cosa accade? Quasi impossibile saperlo (i taleb sono e restano un'organizzazione segreta) ma

Alle Paralimpiadi la disabilità non si vede. Esiste, ma non esiste.

O życiu Oksany Masters na pewno powstanie film w Hollywood. Tylko jak scenarzysta zmieści w jednym przerażający horror, bajkę o dobrej wróżce i historię wielkiego triumfu zdobywczyni złotych medali na zimowych i letnich #Paralympics? Wyobrażąm sobie w filmie takie sceny...
Scena 1. 1989. Cztery lata po awarii Czarnobyla. W szpitalu w Chmielnickim kobieta rodzi córeczkę o zdeformowanym ciałku. Nóżki bez kości goleniowych, jedna 6 cm krótsza, z 6 palcami u stópek. Rączki bez kciuków za to ze zrośniętymi palcami... Z płaczem oddaje małą do adopcji...
Scena 2: Oksana jest już w trzecim sierocińcu. W nocy nie może spać z głodu, bo bardzo boli ją brzuszek. Wraz z koleżanką Laną wykradają się nocą do kuchni. Przyłapane, są bite do nieprzytomności. Lana nie wraca do pokoju. Oksana już nigdy jej nie spotka…

I congratulate our athletes for their performance in the ongoing Paralympics. We've so far won 10 medals in the competition. Nishad won a silver medal in high jump. His journey will inspire countrymen. I congratulate him for his achievements: Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur
This medal means a lot to me. It was my dream to win the medal in #Paralympics. I belong to Una district in Himachal Pradesh where the scope of the game is very less. I feel proud of myself as my journey till here was very difficult: #Paralympics silver medalist Nishad Kumar

Nació en la Unión Soviética, pero se convirtió en una leyenda de #Usa. Si la comparáramos con alguien de los Olímpicos sería como fusionar a Bolt con Kipchoge. Ella es la reina del atletismo paralímpico: señoras y señores, con ustedes, Tatyana McFadden.
#Paralympics #Athletics
#Paralympics #Athletics
Tatyana vio la luz en Leningrado el 21 de abril de 1989. Era una época convulsa en ese coloso rojo, que veía como el mundo que había imaginado comenzaba a colapsar. La pequeña no cayó en este mundo en el mejor momento posible y lo notaría en sus primeros años de existencia...
La soviética nació con espina bífida, lo que la llevó a tener que vivir en una silla de ruedas. Sin embargo, su familia era muy pobre y no podía darle los tratamientos médicos que necesitaba, por lo que la dejaron en un orfanato.
Él es Morteza Mehrzad, el deportista paralímpico más alto de la historia y el segundo hombre más alto del mundo.
Conoce su apasionante historia ↓

Conoce su apasionante historia ↓
#Paralympics #Tokyo2020
Nació en Irán 🇮🇷 hace 33 años, con acromegalia; una afección que provoca que la glándula pituitaria produzca excesiva hormona de crecimiento.
A los 15 años, Morteza se fracturó la pelvis y, a causa de ello, su pierna derecha dejó de crecer, quedando 15 centímetros más corta que la izquierda y provocándole dificultades para caminar.
Nadando ya era muy buena, pero cuando se subió a la bicicleta arrasó con todos. Hoy ganó su 15° oro, algo que la convierte en una de las atletas más laureadas de la historia de los #Paralympics. Señoras y señores, con ustedes, Sarah Storey 🇬🇧👑
El 26 de octubre de 1977 vio la luz en Manchester una mujer llamada a hacer historia. Nació sin una mano izquierda funcional ya que su brazo se enredó en el cordón umbilical en el útero y su mano no se desarrolló de manera normal.
Curiosamente, su primer deporte no fue el que la hizo más exitosa (el ciclismo), sino que comenzó fuera de las pistas, más precisamente en el agua 🏊♀️. Y es que, cuando tenía seis años, miró a Sarah Hardcastle en los Juegos de Los Ángeles 1984 y sintió ganas de comenzar a nadar.
